There were so many. I took more decent pictures of them today than in my entire life up until. Trying to think how to post a few more without it being boring.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2022-07-29-to-photograph-birds-you-need/ Fri, 29 Jul 2022 09:18:48 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2022-07-29-to-photograph-birds-you-need/ <div class="swiper carousel-container"> <div class="swiper-wrapper"> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="17910889046604444.jpg" alt=""> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="17941361468230802.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-button-next"></div> <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div> <div class="swiper-pagination"></div> </div> <p>To photograph birds, you need the longest lenses possible. Here&rsquo;s a little example. This lovely Common Starling was just across the narrow, one-way road from my balcony. The longest autofocus lens I have at home is a 300mm. This gets you further on the slightly smaller sensor of a lot of cameras than on a traditional 35mm camera (you can imagine the smaller sensor as taking a piece out of the middle of what you&rsquo;d see in 35mm).</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-12-i-decided-i-preferred-this/ Sun, 12 Sep 2021 18:52:32 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-12-i-decided-i-preferred-this/ <p>I decided I preferred this Blue Eared Starling pic.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-12-would-you-believe-that-this/ Sun, 12 Sep 2021 18:41:17 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-12-would-you-believe-that-this/ <p>Would you believe that this creature is one of the most common birds in the Kruger National Park? They&rsquo;re even common in Johannesburg gardens. They&rsquo;re still stunning birds, no matter how ubiquitous - and cheeky - they are.</p>
